The Volvo S60 is a compact luxury sedan that was offered in the Indian automotive market. It is known for prioritizing safety and comfort. The vehicle provides an overall refined driving experience and is not meant for enthusiastic driving.
The S60 variant in the Indian market was powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission system. This combination focuses on delivering a seamless flow of power and a refined driving experience. There are no noticeable bumps or jerks during gear shifts, making it comfortable for both city driving and highway cruising.
The Volvo S60 delivers a mileage of approximately 14 kmpl in mixed driving conditions. It performs well in terms of acceleration and handling. While it is not a sporty sedan, it remains stable and confident at higher speeds, making it suitable for long-distance drives.
One area where the S60 truly excels is interior comfort. The seats are well-cushioned and supportive, especially during long journeys. The cabin follows a minimalist design philosophy and uses high-quality materials throughout, enhancing the overall premium feel.
Safety has always been a top priority for Volvo, and the S60 reflects this philosophy well. The sedan comes equipped with multiple airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, and advanced driver assistance systems, depending on the variant. Its robust build quality further adds to driver confidence.
The Volvo S60 measures slightly over 4.7 meters in length, giving it a well-balanced and stable road presence. However, the ground clearance is relatively low, so careful driving is required on uneven or pothole-ridden roads. The boot space is fairly adequate for daily usage and short trips.
Key features of the Volvo S60 include a touchscreen infotainment system, digital driver display, powered front seats, dual-zone climate control, premium interior materials, and advanced safety technologies. The feature list focuses more on practicality and comfort rather than unnecessary frills.
